Matthew Henry Giving Quotations

Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.

Prayer is a salve for every sore, a remedy for every malady; and when we are afflicted with thorns in the flesh, we should give ourselves to prayer. If an answer be not given to the first prayer, nor to the second, we are to continue praying. Troubles are sent to teach us to pray; and are continued, to teach us to continue instant in prayer.

Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.

To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.

When God is about to give His people the expected good, He pours out a Spirit of prayer, and it is a good sign that He is coming towards them in mercy.
